NASA’s Artemis II mission, which launched on April 1, will mark humanity’s long-awaited return to deep space, sending four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the moon aboard the Orion spacecraft.

After waiting above the Earth for almost a day, the NASA Orion spacecraft is expected to fire its engines soon and shoot away from the planet.

The 10-day mission will send the crew around the Earth and then out to loop around the moon, where they'll see the far side of the moon.
